she got the right one Leo, it's the corporation story (h = Dixie and DB = AJ.) Atleast in her mind it made sense. The story is generic either way so can't say I'm bothered by it though.
It's just that it's exactly like the 2011 story, otherwise doing any angle with authority vs wrestler would be a WWE ripoff. Oh well, why debate this anyway

AJ retained against Messias, as expected.

- Styles defended the TNA Title against El Mesias in the semi-main event of the night. The match went almost 20 minutes, with great back-and-forth action and some really good aerial spots from both wrestlers.

- The match ended with Styles submitting Mesias to the Calf Killer.

- To set up the match, AAA gave the audience a brief review of what has happened in TNA and that Styles decided to defend his title against the best wrestlers in the world. El Mesías was the chosen one tonight.

Yeah, it's a ripoff of the CM Punk angle and the Authority angle all in one, but WWE completely botched those two so I'll be happy to see what TNA does with them... even though the last time they tried a "ripoff angle" (the Road to Redemption, which much like those other two are just generic wrestling angles) it didn't turn out that well either (but we don't know the original plan).

If TNA has a working business relationship with AAA and NJPW with Jeff Jarrett a bigger part of Creative (who could take full advantage of that) that's great news for TNA.

Hope that match is available soon, would love to see how this plays out in the ring. :)

Feels like I've said this 40 times now. TNA and New Japan Pro Wrestling do not have a working relationship. They had one but New Japan dropped TNA after a RVD and Hardy wrestled the undercard at New Japan's biggest show high as kites back in 09 (not to mention the entire pre show being TNA stars and not drawing that well in Tokyo). TNA has a working relation with Wrestle-1, a newly started promotion run by Keiji "the great Muta" Mutoh.

New Japan has a working relationship with the NWA and to a lesser extent, Ring of Honor.

A lot of these business threads I just avoid, so I'll leave this one. Sorry to bother you.

It would be most opportune for both TNA and their cooperating promotions to find a way to get these matches shown on TNA television.

That way, the audience is reminded that Styles is still relevant and still defending the belt (here's the proof) and the guys in the other promotions (whether they're NJPW, AAA, PWG, or what-have-you) get an opportunity to shine on a nationally-televised broadcast.

In other words, it would be "best for business".
